DESCRIPTION
The car is equipped with a two-zone climate control sys-
tem which allows you to adjust separately the air tem-
perature on the driver’s and the passenger’s side. The sys-
tem has an AQS function (Air Quality System), which au-
tomatically activates internal air recirculation when the
outside air is polluted (e.g. in traffic queues and tunnels).

Continuous automatic operation
Versions with 2 electric windows (at the front) are
equipped with automatic window opening.
Versions with 4 electric windows (front and rear) are fit-
ted with automatic window opening/closing on all doors.
Keep one of the buttons pressed for longer than
half a secondto activate the automatic continuous op-
eration of the window. The window will stop when it is
fully opened or closed, or when the button is pressed again.
Versions with 4 electric windows (front and rear) are fit-
ted with an anti-crushing safety device to detect the pres-
ence of an obstacle when the window is being closed. If an
obstacle is detected, the safety system will stop the clos-
ing process and, according to window position, reverse
the movement of the glass.ELECTRIC WINDOW

Front passenger-side and rear doors
(for versions/markets where provided)
The front passenger door armrest and rear door armrests
feature switches A-fig. 92 for controlling the correspond-
ing window.
Press button A-fig. 93 to disable the controls located on
the rear doors (for versions/markets where provided). IMPORTANT In the event that the anti-crushing function
is activated 5 times in only 1 minute, the system will au-
tomatically enter the “recovery” mode (self-protection).
This condition is apparent from the window closing in
stages.
On such occasions, it is necessary to carry out the system
restore procedure, acting as follows:
❒open the windows;
or
❒turn the ignition key to STOP and then to MAR.
If no malfunction is present, the window returns to its nor-
mal operation automatically.
IMPORTANT With the ignition key at STOP or removed,
the windows remain activated for about 2 minutes and are
deactivated as soon a door is opened.KNOWING

To manually deactivate the passenger’s
front and side chest/pelvis airbags (for ver-
sions/markets where provided), refer to para-
graphs “Digital display” and “Multifunction dis-
play” in the section “Dashboard and controls”.
WARNINGSIDE AIRBAGS
The car is fitted with front side airbags for driver and pas-
senger (for versions/markets where provided) for pro-
tecting the chest and pelvis, and window bags (for ver-
sions/markets where provided) for protecting the heads
of front and rear occupants.
Side airbags (for versions/markets where provided) pro-
tect car occupants from side-on crashes of medium/high
severity by placing the bag between the occupant and the
internal parts of the side structure of the car. Non-acti-
vation of side bags in other types of collisions (head-on
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc...) is not an indica-
tion of system malfunction. In the event of a side-on crash,
an electronic control unit triggers the inflation of the bag
if required. The cushion immediately inflates, placing it-
self between the occupant’s body and structures that could
cause injuries, the cushion deflates Immediately afterwards.
Side bags (for versions/markets where provided) are not
a replacement for, but rather a complement to, the seat
belts, which should be worn at all times as specified by law
in Europe and most non-European countries.
